Humbled by those who have nothing

"Three months in Vietnam as a volunteer English teacher to sisters from
Our Lady of the Missions (RNDMs) was the first time I had been
confronted by extreme poverty and the experience will stay with me,"
says South Australian journalist Elizabeth Macintosh. "While the
sisters showed me that humanity, humour and love are ever present even
where money is not, it seems little consolation to families who have
nothing." - The Southern Cross Monthly
